1. She cannot get above about 45% in the polls, and not all of them at that. This is the kiss of death for an incumbent (and she IS that - not just the same party, but she worked for him and hasn’t criticized his policies).
2. She’s spending money like crazy (ads on NBC during the Olympics just can’t be cheap), and the numbers aren’t moving for her.
3. The media is totally in the tank for her - every negative thing about her is buried, or explained away as racist, sexist, fantasy, etc., etc. if it can’t be buried; Trump is being relentlessly assaulted by the media, as well - and all of this to no great effect except during the week after the Dem convention (where you expect a bump in the polls).
4. I have seen very few bumper stickers, and NO yard signs, for Clinton. No one that I know who is for her is enthusiastic at all. Yeah, I’m in Texas - but Texas Dems tend to be very up-front about it, very proud to be Dems...but there’s nothing there.
5. Now the money is falling off...that’s as much of a sign of impending political death as not eating anything is a sign of impending actual death in a frail, old person. Money is the oxygen, the fuel of politics.
6. Trump has been (wisely, IMHO) carefully guarding his expanding hoard of campaign funds for a push beginning in September. He’s letting her spend like crazy now, to no real effect because only political junkies (most of whom have long since made up their minds, one way or the other) are paying attention right now. He will hit her HARD on the airwaves, hit her HARD in the debates, and hit her HARD at 2-3 big rallies every single day until November 8.
I believe that Hillary’s ceiling is at about 45%, possibly 48% if Trump really screws up (and I think that amateur hours is over at the Trump campaign - he is exercising great discipline now, just going after her and Obama, and showing how his policies will help the American public, and his new campaign people will keep him on that track). I’m not saying that he can’t lose - he certainly CAN, especially given the vote fraud that we all KNOW will occur - but I think that it is his to lose. She is a terrible candidate - forgetting her political positions - she has anti-charisma, she can’t speak well, she looks like death warmed over much of the time...and she won’t be campaigning on weekends.
Get ready for President Trump.
Get ready for President Trump.

Nice!
I think Trump had let her spend and spend so that when he starts she has already blown her wad. If at this point with all her spending this race is till more than competitive shows that the negative ad campaign is not working at all.
And they're stupid ads.
The one with Trump on a late-night show, I guess, is supposed to make us mad at him and think he's a hypocrite. If so, it just falls flat.
The one all about how Hildebeeste is going to rip off the rich and the corporations to fund bigger government boondoggles paints her as a red communist. It's actually a pretty good ad against her.
